Cabela’s Photo Shoot at Our Texas Guest Ranch

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Photo by Hudson Gardner

Keep your eyes peeled for the summer edition of the Cabela’s catalog. You might recognize the scenery.

The marketing people at Cabela’s happened upon the BlissWood Website when they were searching for a location to photograph models for their summer catalog and fell in love with our Texas guest ranch instantly.

We hosted them for 10 days on the ranch and provided everything they needed to get the most memorable shots for their catalog, including our beautiful scenery, huge liveoaks, and a canoe (which you can now rent at BlissWood)!

We’re absolutely tickled that they chose to use our Texas guest ranch as the backdrop for their summer catalog and can’t wait to see the results.

What is Cabela’s?

In case you didn’t know, Cabela’s is the world’s foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear. They have over 30 stores in the US, including three right here in Texas as well as locations all over the world.

If you’ve ever been to one of their stores, you won’t soon forget the experience.

Think of it like a Disneyland for outdoor sporting enthusiasts. When you walk in the entrance, you’ll see a big hill that looks like the tip of a mountain with animals of various sizes all around it (stuffed, of course) and an aquarium filled with big mouth bass and trout and other game fish (these are the real deal).

We couldn’t show you any of the pictures we took with the models in them (you’ll have to wait for the summer catalog to see those), but here are a few behind-the-scene shots for you to enjoy.

Remember to look for this year’s summer catalog for the official shots taken at our Texas guest ranch!

Imagine Ballroom

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Linda Lorelle, former Houston news anchor, and Bruno Collins, multiple World, US, and Blackpool Champion ballroom dancer, have started a dance show on television called “Imagine Ballroom“. The third episode will air Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; the fourth episode will air New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Carol and Linda Lorelle

Imagine Ballroom pairs hopeful dancers with expert ballroom dancers. The show is part lesson, part performance, and all fun. It’s a chance for many to live a dream.

As many of you know, Carol was a professional ballroom dancer for eight years. That seems like a lifetime ago now. Still, in spite of a busy schedule running her Texas Guest Ranch and Cat Spring Restaurant, Carol finds time to dance whenever she can.

Watch for Carol on Imagine Ballroom, and look for ads for our Texas Vacation Ranch before and after the show! Many thanks to Lorelle Media for the great commercial.

A Blissful Place to Unwind

Monday, April 12th, 2010

A lovely couple came to stay at our Texas guest ranch last month. They said they were in dire need of a little R&R, and I believe they found it here.

Porch swings spark creativity

They explored the area, browsed antique stores and genuinely enjoyed Central Texas small towns with big personalities.

When not out and about having fun, they stayed put and had fun. At right, you can see how the porch swing of the Lehman guest house Texas really sparks creativity.

We had a great time chatting when they came to eat at Carol’s Cat Spring restaurant. One of the best parts of our business is the fact that we get to meet so many wonderful people!

Read what they had to say about their stay at Blisswood at their blog at CasaCullen.
